Former presidential candidate Andrias Ghukasyan says he has considered
the risks of a recent proposal for gathering together a large team of
supporters on the presidential inauguration day to make Serzh Sargsyan
accept the opposition's proposals.
`This is an experience for all of us, and that experience is important
in terms of planning and proposing the steps of each. That's naturally
what we all have to consider to avoid clashes between the public and
the police and situations threatening the people's lives,' the
politician told Tert.am on Saturday,
At the opposition's rally on Thursday, Ghukasyan proposed Raffi
Hovhannisian, the Heritage party's leader who was the second-placed
candidate in the February 18 election, to gather a crowd of 50,000
people at the Yerevan Sports and Complex Complex (where Sargsyan is
due to be sworn into a second term) on April 9 `to lock all the rotten
eggs (government linked forces and politicians invited to the
ceremony) in a basket' and prevent them from leaving the building
unless they accept the society's demands.
Ghukasyan said he is convinced that the ruling authorities may use
force at any moment, ignoring the law.
`The regime in Armenia is that of an oligarchic nature, and it can and
does use force against a society taking active steps to back the
opposition. The threat will linger. But all the measures taken by the
opposition forces must be guaranteed by the right belonging to the
people,' he noted.
Ghukasyan added that the proposal he voiced in Liberty Square at the
recent rally was not something he had spoken of before.
He said the Heritage deputy leader, Armen Martirosyan, was the only
person to respond to his remark, by saying `Commanders have increased
in number'.
`That's something to be decided by Raffi Hovhannisian and his team.
They were given a proposal. As to who will be the commander, that's
all the same; if they have commanders, they may obey they. But apart
from a passive form of protest, it is also necessary to take active
action that day,' he said, adding that civil disobedience is a
constitutional right belonging to the people.
